If you haven’t read Part One of this little two part series, this won’t make a ton of sense. Read it here.

So, yes, this is a marketing blog but bear with me…

Here’s the deal with trading stocks profitably:

  1. You have to play by the RULES or you lose.
  2. You do get to make up the RULES.
  3. However, you don’t get to make them up as you go along.

What I mean here is that there are a million ways to make money trading. Even if you confine yourself to one asset class (ie. stocks) or even a segment (tech stocks), there are endless strategies or ‘styles’ that will work.

Really. [click to continue…]

If you didn’t read the first post in this two-part series, called Seth Godin Wiffs One go check it out.

Last week, Seth wrote a post that was stupid.

So I wrote a post telling the world why he’s wrong, partly just to say so and partly to setup this post… a blog lesson wrapped in a touch of self-criticism. Here we go.

August 22, 2008

This post is a perfect example of the kind of post you really want to write, but shouldn’t. Next week, I’ll tell you why this post is a bad idea (despite being stingingly clever, penetratingly well written, and absolutely correct.) In the meantime, read it and tell me what’s wrong with this post in the [...]

My Fear of Facebook = Your Prospect’s Fear of You

August 11, 2008

New home for The Disciplined Marketer!

July 28, 2008

Welcome to the new home/look of The Disciplined Marketer blog! I got fed up with the ExpressionEngine blog software that I was using – more on that later – so, I’ve jumped ship. This WordPress situation is going to be much better all around, but there a little work to do to get it up [...]
